Pels are the better team an should win this game. The Magic haven't beaten a team with a winning record since Feb 22nd. Their 8-2 record in the last 10 games is an eastern conference blessing. They are 15-22 against +500 teams.

They are ranked 22nd in offense vs the Pels 10th. Both teams are similar in 3 point frequency, but the Pels are 5th and Orlando is 25th in 3 pt%.

Agreed plus there is a difference between being 5th place in the East and 5th place in the West. Other than the top slot, every team in the West has a better record than their East counterpart. If the Pels were in the East, they would likely be in second or third place as their record is 16-8 against that conference
